@dessaigne Thanks for hunting us! After shipping so many awesome products at Algolia together I really wanted you to be our hunter. 🙏
@julien_c Thank you! We use a mix of classical and deep computer vision models. We're currently benchmarking transformers models, thanks to Hugging Face's great libraries.
Hello Makers,
Our mission at PhotoRoom is to boost businesses thanks to more efficient images. Time to create a listing is important for creators and resellers. In particular, the quicker first-time resellers get to a sale, the more successful they become. That's why we're launching an API: We want to empower app creators to implement background removal features in fewer steps.
If you run a marketplace, you know the quality of the image is most of the sale.
- Noisy backgrounds for listed products distract users from buying and create a cheap UI
- A white background is required (https://support.google.com/merch... be able to advertise your users content on Google
- Photos make a marketplace. Improving photo quality increased usage and GMV of major marketplaces like Airbnb or Uber Eat. 93% of consumers consider visual appearance to be the key deciding factor in a purchase decision(https://www.justuno.com/blog/65-...)
- Instant white backgrounds will increase the satisfaction of your sellers and the chance that they get their first sell on your platform
You can integrate PhotoRoom API in your seller app in under 5 minutes at a fraction of the cost of what exists today.
ProductHunt audience, PhotoRoom team, PhotoRoom audience, we are all builders and entrepreneurs. We want to serve all the builders, so we are providing 1,000 images/month for free. You want to create a new Figma plugin, a new social app with friends, or a creativity app. Go build it. It's free.
We would love to have feedback from marketplace owners, creators, and makers about what else they would like to see in this API.
@francescu Thanks, I am just waiting to make fantastic animations with PhotoRoom API in Mojo 😉
congrats @matthieu_rouif , so exciting to see how fast you go with photoroom (I mean using the product as much as developing the tech and brand ! )
@matthieu_rouif @edouard_de_lansalut thanks edouard. Speed is a PhotoRoom feature indeed
Yep, they delivered again! The API works as expected...which is a feat!!! They're on their way to making Internet beautiful :)!
Great product, we've been playing around with it and it's impressive: super easy to use, instant results, great background removal. Definitely had a “Wow effect” on me
@matthieurouif Definitely! What kind of company / product do you think will use the API the most?
@robi in volume marketplaces are going to be big. In usage, the creative apps like yours are going to be so interesting.
Finally no more infamous fake transparent pngs 😁

But without joke - your UX is slick!
Photoroom is magic - I've been loving the app, can't wait to give this API a try 🔥
Able to take great pics to next level. No photoshop required and add much more control over the finer details when removing noise or enhance the color. One more thing, it is free.
Congrats, can't wait to try the API after your killing app!
Just two questions that comes to mind:
- Can the lighting of the object be adjusted? I'm thinking both intensity and source.
- Can a background (img, gif...etc) be injected?
@gaspard2lacroix Thank you Gaspard. At the moment that's not the case, but we have an update coming soon that will allow you to control all those attributes
